Painters · Follow up systems
Chase the quote you sent last Tuesday before the family books someone else.
A follow-up system for a painter is the routine of returning to every quote, site visit and finished job at the right moment. GullySales works on the messages and reminders that keep a quote alive without nagging the family.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What follow up systems means
A follow-up system is the set routine for calling, messaging or emailing an enquiry more than once, since most buyers do not decide on the first conversation. GullySales sets the number and timing of follow-ups so an undecided buyer keeps hearing from you until they decide either way.

For painters
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A quote that is never chased is a job given away”
The family collected three quotes and then went quiet. The painter who sends a polite message after a few days, restating the scope, is the one still in the conversation when they decide.
“Silence after a site visit means a question is open”
The customer rarely says the rate is too high. They go quiet over the putty, the date or the brand. A follow-up that asks which part is unclear brings the real objection into the open.
“The finished job has a second visit”
After the final coat, a call to check the walls and a request for a review turns a closed job into a recommendation. Painters who skip this lose the neighbours who would have asked who did the work.
“Repaint reminders arrive before the festival”
A past customer reminded in September has time to book for Diwali. One reminded in October is told the diary is full. Dates drawn from the past customer sheet make the message timely.
What we do
What we deliver for painters.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A quote follow-up sequence
Short messages for the day after a quote and for the next check, each restating the scope.
Result: Every quote has a planned next message.
An objection reply sheet
Prepared, honest answers to questions about price, putty, coats and dates.
Result: The crew leader replies the same way each time.
A completion call and review ask
A routine for the walk-through, the thank-you and the link to leave a review.
Result: Each finished job ends with a recorded check.
Repaint reminder messages
Drafted messages for past customers, timed before festivals and the rains.
Result: Past customers hear from you before the rush.
A reminder board for the crew
A list of quotes due for a follow-up that morning.
Result: Nobody has to remember who to call.
How the result is measured
- Follow-up completion rate
- Average number of follow-ups before close
- Enquiries closed after repeat follow-up
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the follow up systems work runs
- 1
Measure today's reply time
From last month's enquiries, we measure how long each waited for a first reply and how many follow-ups it got.
- 2
Agree targets and the sequence
We set reply targets and the follow-up sequence with your team, based on its real hours and workload.
- 3
Set up templates, tasks and ownership
Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.
- 4
Track and adjust every month
Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
